 James L. Nelson has written three historic naval fiction series and is also the writer of non-fiction books about naval activities during the American War of Independence.
The Revolution at Sea Saga is about Isaac Biddlecomb. It starts in 1775 with Biddlecomb as a merchant captain, but the American War of Independance sees him in the fledgling US Navy.
The Brethren of the Coast trilogy is about Thomas Marlowe, an American Privateer in the early years of the colonies.
The Samuel Bowater series is about the Confederate Navy and the age of early steam iron warships during the American Civil War.
